Description

A mischievous collection of short rhymes, this volume invites listeners into the oddball world of the Jumbler—a narrator who rides a stubborn Pegasus while stitching together verses that swing from jaunty New‑Year greetings to tongue‑in‑cheek wartime reflections. The verses tumble over each other in a playful jumble, weaving humor, gentle satire, and a touch of melancholy into a rhythm that feels both spontaneous and lovingly crafted. Listeners will find the poet’s voice both wry and warm, as he turns ordinary moments—like a cup of taffy or a hospital stay—into absurd little parables.

The book roams through a variety of scenes: a grateful Thanksgiving pause, a quirky appreciation of gifts whose names are lost in wordplay, and an amusing “pay‑the‑Paul” lament that riffs on the endless chase of money. Each piece is delivered with the same breezy cadence, making the whole experience feel like an impromptu, witty conversation that brightens a quiet afternoon without ever revealing a larger plot.
